Nation-Wide Strike Seen In Shipping NEW YORK, June 14 (U.R) was that President Truman would veto the tax bill Monday and that the veto would be sustained. But Republicans were confident that if Mr. Truman vetoes the labor bill, both the senate and the house would vote to override and thus make the measure law. Most Democrats agreed. Some Democrats close to the White House said they believed the odds were that Mr. Truman would veto the labor measure. But they were less positive than in the predictions of a tax bill veto.

Government Is Considering Grounding All C-54 Planes WASHINGTON, June 14 (U.R) A high administration official said tonight -the government Is "considering" "con-sidering" grounding all former army C-54 planes that have been converted to commercial airlines uses. The official said Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman conferred con-ferred twice late today with M. Landis, civil aeronautics board chairman, "in a general canvass of possible safety measures" meas-ures" that might be taken In. view of three recent air disasters in volving the DC-4 plane. Two of the crashes involved DC-4s converted con-verted from army use. The C-54 is, the army version of the DC-4. One of these was the Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania Central' airliner which struck a mountain near Leesburg, Van today, killing 50 persons. The other was an Eastern Air Lines plane which crashed near! Bainbridge, Md., May 30, killing all 53 persons aboard. These are the two worst commercial air disasters dis-asters In U.. S. history. J A third crash, that of a United: Air Lines plane at LaGuardia field,. N. Y-on May 29 also in-j volved a DC-4 but this ship' was not a converted army plane. Forty-three persons were killed in the LaGuardia mishap. The high' official said there was little chanced tbaU all DC-4sj would be grounded. But, he add- ed, "there Is 4 real possibility that those ships converted from army transport planes will be ordered from the air by White House or der." "The C-54s wet very useful and very successful as army transports, he said. "But they have not proved too successful as commercial passenger1 and mail planes. There is something radi cally wrong. They were said to be veering away from the thought of Immediate Imme-diate appeal to the United Nations in behalf of Hungary, where 'a communist coup two weeks ago deposed the elected regime. The facts are, it was said, that neither neith-er the UN nor the United States can do anything about the Russian Rus-sian action in Hungary at the moment if the Soviet Union is determined to prevent it. These officials now feel that the best formula Is to put the Balkan peace treaties Into effect and see what happens next in Hungary and elsewhere. President Truman by signing the peace treaties completed U.S. action on the pacts, first to emerge from World War II. They will go Into effect when the other belligerents ratify them. . Mr. Truman spoke with con siderable bluntness in denouncing denounc-ing the three satellite governments. govern-ments. This country previously had dispatched strong notes uro-testing uro-testing the Soviet-Inspired coup in Hungary and the arrest by Bui garian communists of an opposi tion party leader. "At the time of ratification of the treaties establishing peace with Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria," the president said. "I feel I must publicly express regret re-gret that the governments of those countries not only bay?; Bisrei garded the will of the majority of the people but have resorted to them. "Ever since the liberation of these countries from the Nazi yoke and the commitments .un dertaken. by the three allies at Yalta, I had hoped that governments govern-ments truly representative of the people would be established there. "Such governments do not xist today in those three countries. "It Is, however. In the interest in-terest of the Hungarian, Romanian, Ro-manian, and Bulgarian peoples peo-ples to terminate the state of war which has existed between be-tween their governments and the United States for over five years. "The establishment of peace will mean that all occupation forces (not including Soviet units needed to maintain lines of communication com-munication to the Soviet zone In Austria) will be withdrawn from these countries and armistice con trol missions terminated." The tone of . the president's statement on the Italian treaty was markedly different. He said Americans will continue to aid tljeir Italian friends "in order that their victory, and ours, may be preserved in order that their freedoms and their reborn demo cracy may live and grow."
